DH and I not getting on - getting to critical point.

I still agreed to fly out to his country for 5 days at Easter to see FIL who apparently is dying. I say apparently because he's being 'dying' for the last 5 years and dh hasn't spoken to him for years.

The deal was also to bring back mil. How4ever we had a massive argument when I tried to book the tickets wed as the prices had gone up and I made the HUGE mistake of asking when mil would return to her country so I could book the return portion of the ticket (she's a nightmare). He went nuts - nasty - admitted the relationship was over - called me insane etc.

TODAY - very nicely he's pleading that the reason for wednesday's outrage was that he felt sorry for FIL and 5 days not enough and aked that we fly over. I fly back ALONE after 5 days leaving 21 month old ds with them for one more week to make fil happy. And then ds, dh and mil fly back a week later.

What do I do. Perhaps fil really is seriously ill this time. I feel trapped. I want to call his relatives to find out (as dh still hasn't called his father). Mil is behind this (she and fil estranged so why would she care). Will they really fly back. Is it appropriate to leave a 21 month baby abroad without ME. I don;'t think so! My parents are going nuts about this.
IS THIS NORMAL!

I just can't beleive that at this moment he is still prioritising mil over everything.

WHAT DO I DO..

OK, looks like I got the date of the trip wrong. But if the poster hasn't posted in the last 7 days the chance of her reading this thread is low.

What has happened?

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 03/03/2008 19:11

Right, have caught up.

She has made her mind up it seems. Has she posted anywhere else?

bossybritches · 05/03/2008 16:10

Gone quiet NAB- we can but hope for the best.

ShinyDysonHereICome · 14/03/2008 22:33

She has been posting this week so at least it would appear that they are both safe and well

skinnygirlNOT · 15/03/2008 11:13

Yes but I think she's due to go for Easter. So she would be leaving soon.

skinnygirlNOT · 26/03/2008 18:32

Bumping.
Hope your trip was 'uneventful' Huggymummy.

MrsDanvers · 27/03/2008 19:40

How was your trip to Italy, Huggymummy? We're all hoping it went well and you're back home with DS- but no MIL!

Huggymummy glad you are back. What a pair of twats for teaching your son to say those things.

Get rid of DH; you can't shouldn't have to live with this sort of abuse. It will only get worse.
